[QUOTE="rusty, post: 7934525, member: 689"] I think it’s very difficult to pin down as everyone has different circumstances. From my own experiences of reducing yields and moving to autumn block calving we have saved massively on purchased feed per litre but also vet cost per litre. However we have also rented extra land to reduce stocking rate and make more high quality forage for each cow. From benchmarking data I have seen higher yielding herds probably have lower labour costs per litre and forage/fertiliser costs but not much else. This usually won’t compensate for the massively higher purchased feed costs. [/QUOTE]
